This was taken from the MustangsMustangs.net forums where I am a member. These are awesome videos. here is a video that Ed Shipley cut together about our 4-ship team: http://homepage.mac.com/lightningrodpictures/iMovieTheater40.html We did the 4 Horsemen in 1994 and 1995 but logistically it was hard for us to get 4 Mustangs together at the same time and the same place -- so Shipley and I turned it into the Horsemen (2 ship) act in 1995 which was easier to manage and also gave us an opportunity use his Corsair on the wing. That was an AWESOME show to fly and on the top of the formation loops his propwash would roll my airplane. Lots of stick into him on the top of loops. Here's ground footage of Ed and me flying The Horsemen in 1997 at Batavia: http://homepage.mac.com/lightningrodpictures/iMovieTheater17.html Here is a helmet cam view of Ed flying with Lee Lauderback flying Mad Max who filled in for me at Oshkosh 2004 while I was back home working(someone has to work and pay for this stuff ....) when he borrowed Bald Eagle -- very cool perspective: http://homepage.mac.com/lightningrodpictures/iMovieTheater26.html There are lots of other cool videos on Ed's site. Check them all out. Jim Beasley |
